Qualifications for the presidency are: Age 35 Born in the US Where a candidates parents were born is immaterial.

You deserve a little zot-action, too.

Art 2, Section 1 of our blessed Constitution:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

The two categories are bolded. There are none more of the 2nd category. They are all dead. Hence, Presidents these days must be a natural born citizen. The case law is clear. A person's parents must be citizens at the time of the person's birth to be a natural born citizen.

You lose.

I don’t get how he can even say what he did, given the text of the Constitution on the matter...

I’m sure he’ll insist on it though, regardless of our “lyin’ eyes”.
